Havin' a Ball!

Despite my recent computer woes I am having a ball with the new camera.

I love tea so I thought I would have a 'ball' photographing my collection of those wonderful little tools otherwise know as the 'tea ball' used to strain the tea leaves for the perfect pot of tea:).

Here are some of the more commonly used tea balls.
This little tea ball strainer is perfect for a single cup of tea.
Of course, not all tea strainers are in the shape of a ball.
This porcelain strainer makes the process of brewing tea more beautiful.

A collection of tea straining spoons and ladels.

I found the huge tea ball at a yard sale and the medium one at a thrift shop and couldn't resist adding them to my collection.

The largest one is great for brewing iced tea by the gallon:).

Here are some oddly shaped tea strainers.

You didn't think I could get through a post without Kramer making an appearence, did ya?

Maybe he wants a cup of tea!

I guess you could say that he is a 'kitt-tea'.

Now that we've looked at all of these tea strainers I'm in the mood for a cup of steaming tea:).

Won't you join me?
